Missed Questions on MockExam Flashcards
The BCBA gave the RBT 10 tasks to have the learner perform to assess whether the learner can perform the tasks or not. This is an example of:
Probing
What is probing?
Testing a target to see if they already know how to do something before making it a target
The technician provided the client with 10mins of gym time when using the bathroom which increased the client’s using the bathroom more often in the future
Example of reinforcement
Fixed Ratio
reinforcement is provided after a number of responses occur
Fixed Interval
reinforcement is provided after a number of time elapsed
Variable Ratio
reinforcement is always provided after an average amount of responses addmitted
Variable Interval
reinforcement is always provided after an average amount of time has elapsed
DTT
(discrete trial training)
a type of teaching procedure involving:
- short and quick intervals
when learning skills that involve
- an SD, prompts, responses, and feedback
in QUICK SUCCESSION
Table trial
NET
(natural environment teaching)
- teaching in natural contexts and settings
- looking for teachable moments
Laura the BCBA is working with her client on brushing her teeth. She has broken down the complex skill of brushing her teeth into smaller teachable steps to help her client learn this new skill
What teaching procedure is Laura implementing?
Task Analysis
A stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement is defined as a ___ and a stimulus that signals the unavailability of reinforcement is defined as ___
SD, S-DELTA (opposites of each other)
Response Generalization
Generalizing behaviors
Stimulus Generalization
Generalizing settings, environments, people
A friend walks into the room:
you could say:
- hi
- hello
- hey
- how are you
Response Generalization
You can say HI in different places like:
- mall
- grocery store
- therapy center
- home
- school
Stimulus Generalization
Systematically and differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal behavior is defined as:
Shaping
4 functions of behavior?
Sensory/Automatic
Escape
Attention
Tangible
A ___ decreases the value of a stimulus as a reinforcer and a ___ increases the value of a stimulus as a reinforcer
Abolishing Operation, Establishing Operation
The process of reinforcing appropriate responses and withholding reinforcement for inappropriate responses is an example of:
Differential Reinforcement
During FCT (functional communication training) you will reinforce successive approximations of desired communication. What is this called?
Shaping
What is topography?
ex. The client rolled out of his chair and onto the floor. He put both of his hands over his ears, and screamed “no”
what is actually happening
A skill acquisition plan contains several essential components.
First, a skill must be identified
Then, goal is created to address the skill
Next, measurement procedure is identified to use to record data
Whats next?
Gathering baseline data
What is baseline data?
measurement in a graph that allows us to observe changes that occur when the intervention is put in place and helps us compare behavior under its naturally occurring
What is a function?
Tells us why the behavior is occurring
Contingency
ex. client struggles with getting dressed for school
solution. if client gets dressed then he can watch 20min of tv
The IF and THEN
Negative reinforcement involves ___ a stimulus which ___ behavior.
Positive punishment involves ___ a stimulus which ___ behavior.
removing; increases, adding; decreases
Differential reinforcement is used to reduce behavior and teach skills in applied behavior analysis. Differential reinforcement can lead to ___?
Discrimination, Differentiation, and Alternative Behaviors
Money, tokens, and praises are:
secondary reinforcement
Discrimination training?
differentiating between two things that are similar
What is the primary role in service delivery for an RBT?
implementation (taking the program and doing it)
Spontaneous Recovery
A behavior that was already put to extinction and comes back after a while
ex. client getting up from seat was extinct and 2 mon. later client got up form their seat 10 times during a session
Extinction Burst
it will get worse before it gets better
ex. the client gets up from their seat 20 times a session but yesterday client got up 40 times and today he only got up 9 times
